We can act instead of being acted upon.

When we succumb to believing that we are victims of our circumstances and yield to the plight of determinism, we lose hope, we lose drive, and we settle into resignation and stagnation.

If I really want to improve my situation, I can work on the one thing over which I have control - myself.

People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them.

We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.

Nothing is as fast as the speed of trust. Nothing is as fulfilling as a relationship of trust. Nothing is as inspiring as an offering of trust. Nothing is as profitable as the economics of trust. Nothing has more influence than a reputation of trust.

The exercise of true leadership is inversely proportional to the exercise of power.
